Blackboard Student Services Welcomes U.S. Congressman John Carter (TX-31)

On September 30, 2011, Blackboard Student Services- Killeen, Texas hosted U.S. Congressman John Carter and his staff to discuss ways education technology is empowering students, teachers and parents in the state of Texas—and the important role Blackboard Student Services plays in the student experience at higher ed institutions throughout the country.
  • Blackboard employs ~400 Texans at our Killeen Blackboard Student Services call center
  • Blackboard learning technologies are used at 83% of all Texas higher education institutions and 21% of all Texas school districts
  • 1 in 3 Texans who are in public education are using Blackboard technology daily
We look forward to working with the Congressman in the future and hope to hold an executive session in the spring of 2012 for clients in the state. More details to come!
